Depends on the engine manufacturer but Duramax is late 10 models. The larger engines are also 10 models in 11 model trucks until they run out then upgrade. I think the new Ford engines are all 11 models and are equipped as such.

I'm not sure about spout size on the Sprinter but the Duramax it also being under the hood and 35 gal capacity is a pour through a funnel deal as well. A real draw back for a commercial operation. I would like to know how many local companies using these have drivers that will completely...

I don't know why I did not think of that. Good idea especially when there's two truck doing the same thing. Kind of unlikely two oil pumps would go.:cool:

I did not see a picture of it, but it said debut in about a week. Reading the spec page it looks to be a Sprinter competitor with more loading area (700) cu ft. The only draw back I see is the urea tank along with fuel. That's the one reason I'm going back to the gas engine. Right now the...

Just read this morning on my financial page where gas and diesel will be going up 50 a gallon more over the next two weeks. I wonder how many big trucks will be shutting down because of that. Like another reply stated that truckers w/o apu's will have to shut down regardless of the weather...

Your funny! Ban the van, tisk,tisk ha, ha. Gas gets any higher we'll be saying ban the bicycle cause that's what we'll be driving.:D:D

I was reading my daily financial reports. They were saying that gas and diesel prices have gone up another 50 cents a gallon in Europe and expect it to hit here in the the next two weeks. :eek: This is March 3d so get ready, watch FSC closely and make sure your getting exactly what your...

Ditto!!!! I burned out my lift gate. I don't think lift gates work very well on C/V's.:D

Intersection of Whiskey rd & Easy St, Aiken SC.:cool:

Actually you answered your own question. When we talk of camping out it's more of a med-a-for than anything else. We used to call it laying over but Camping sounds better.:D What do I do, well I'm doing most of it right now.:cool:

If your not running above 40pds at hwy speeds and that many miles I would change the pump. It's not hard and it's a lot cheaper than a motor. You can change it out in a couple of hours if you know how. While your changing it I would look at the number 1 rod bearing and check see the wear...

That's says a lot. Most newer drivers might check their truck in the morning than never again that day. That could have really cost you had you ignored it and the hub ran dry and the wheels took off and passed you going down the road. That could be really embarrassing.:eek:

Yeh but if you ask them about the fuel tank deal they can't answer you. They don't know how far their personnel car can go. It's all about revenue. My way of thinking over the last few years when it comes to C/V's is stay east of Texas, ok, nb, ia, Dakota's. It cost to much west of there...

Transition between 1St quarter and 2ND quarter. Lull before the storm. Sit back on your easy chair watch the world go bye. Oh yeh could have something to do with oil prices.:eek:

Sorry can't answer that one, I don't run Sprinters. I know 90% of the Sprinter guy's out here are running 2500 and long /W/B. More capacity the better. Bigger living room too.:cool:

Two guy's and two good reply's. Moot hit it on the head about being more than the cost of fuel. What about everything else we need to operate our business with?? The Fed's, oh my good gracious (nice way to put it) , the leadership of this country are all on drugs. From O'bama on down. It...

In retrospect, if I wasn't living in a house with a $4400 monthly payment and $8500 in property tax I would have had a stroke with those payments. How's your nervous system?/??:eek: I was with the big one then, (Landing on the stars.) I watched that fleet shrink fast. Brokers were...

Get a weight ticket w/out all your personnel stuff on-board.:cool:

The C/V's are here to stay period. The biggest problem right now is all the top revenue (largest) expedite carriers are only hiring Sprinter type vehicles. It' does not matter if it's and envelope or 3 skids that carrier wants Sprinter type vehicles. What my guess is they are looking to...

Where in the World do you find this stuff???????????????????????:D
